About This File
Hello,
Hope you are all doing well. Please find attached my mounting for the hemispheres, like others I went for the 100mm bobbles which are nice but not very robust. To overcome this a bit and also help mount them I designed this mounting which incorporates a backing for the bobble so that it can be glued to it and therefor strengthening it considerably. It's so strong in fact that I can stand on it with my full Dad weight without it crushing, and yet it only weighs 41g! I have incorporated a hole though it so that a 5mm bolt or threaded rod can be simply screwed in to mount it to the skirt. It requires no supports, no brim and only 5% infill. I can print 4 at a time in 24hrs, increasing the printer speed to 120%. If you print it in black there is no further finishing required other than to fit your painted half bobble. I suggest printing one as a test to check it is a good match for your bobbles and if not a slight % change should be enough. A good test is to put a little blue-tack on the frame and to check that it is well squished when fitting the bobble. Please note the following Cura Standard setting over rides -
Wall line count - 2
Top layers - 4
Bottom layers - 8
Infill density - 5%
Infill pattern - Triangles
Support - None
Build adhesion - None
Any questions or comments very welcome.
Thanks, Scott.
